$20 for a small pho tai that they call a large with very little over cooked beef. Probably the best tasting broth I ever had but way overpriced for what you’re getting. I remember when an actual large was $12.99. Embarrassing.

Edit: Aug 2025. A bit disappointed. Used to love it and tried coming twice and both times not as good as it used to be.

Great food, really flavorful, lots of extra sauces to try such as chili paste etc... prices are quite affordable, $12 for a large beef noodle soup. Overall a great restaurant I will be coming back to.

Visiting from Toronto and wanted some Pho.. and although the service was excellent, the pho wasn’t very good. Lacking flavour probably because it got watered down as we came an hour before closing. Quantity was 👍🏻 though, the large and XL bowls were more than plenty to share. The spring rolls wasn’t very good.. very mushy inside. The Coconut smoothie was also sub-par as they use powder rather than real coconuts.
Very disappointed and would not return to this location next time.

Excellent drinks! I had an iced Vietnam coffee and one of my member had a coconut shake. We are impressed. Hosts are helpful and friendly. Rices and noodles are also delicious. Highly recommended.

“Did you hear about the new Vietnamese noodle / southern BBQ fusion restaurant?
It's called Pho-Q”
Joke aside, we had another satisfying lunch at the Pho Bo Ga L.A (original location).
We had the #62 - Chả Gi LA two times and
one 010 - Ph& Tai Nam Gau 生牛肉腩筋粉
(Rare Beef, Slightly Fat Beef and Beef Brisket with Rice Noodles) and S10
Buin Bo Hue 順化牛肉粉
(Traditional Spicy Soup with Beef Shank and Vietnam Ham)
Both Pho were delicious, the meat was tender and the noodles well done.
All of this for $58
Pho-king amazing flavor! 😍
Free parking is behind the building,
just follow the arrow…

This place has been here for as long as I can remember! Always a good choice to get a decent bowl of pho, you’re never going to be blown away but you’re never going to be disappointed either.

Prices are reasonable and the service is relatively quick. It’s inexpensive and tasty.

I recommend it for a quick bight to eat or for a late night meal!

I dined here with my girlfriend a couple
of weeks ago on a Monday, I believe it was. We chose this restaurant because many others were closed. This was fine because I had wanted to try this restaurant for some time. We found the food mediocre tasting, the portions small, and the dinner overpriced. In other Vietnamese restaurants, basil and bean sprouts are often included. Nothing was offered. Thankfully, clients are not yet charged for tap water. We will pick a different place next time.

I have tried almost all the Pho places in China town.. this is by far the best tasting pho and other dishes they have. It's a fast, clean, friendly service, too!!
